CBS’s Dickerson to Huckabee: Has Anyone Ever Won a Debate Using Nazi Analogies?

2 Aug 2015

On CBS’s “Face the Nation,” John Dickerson asked 2016 Republican presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee if an argument in modern debate has ever been won by using a Nazi analogy.

Huckabee replied, “I don’t know if a debate has been won, but I know that we are in a very dangerous situation because of the deal with the Iranians. We just released $150 billion so they can buy conventional weapons from the Russians and continue what is already a very deadly pursuit of terrorism around the world.”

“And my comments, while the President may have called them ridiculous, what’s ridiculous is that we would ever trust the Iranians, who for 36 years have vowed that they will wipe Israel off the face of the map and have vowed that they will bring death to America and chanted it even during the negotiations,” he added.
